All being X has done is display its power over time and space to give Tanya a hard time and try to get her attention. It doesn't seem to give two shits about all the people suffering or dying in the war, and, in fact, created Tanya with enormous powers to kill people and forced her into a position to use it constantly. If it is a god, it's not one worthy of praise.

Paracelsus posted:Eh, it seemed to me salaryman was going more for "God must operate in a manner that accords with my over-adapted bureaucratic mindset in order to exist at all," rather than "God must bring about good results for me in order to be worthy of praise" (which I think is also a bad argument). Salaryman's argument was more that we don't need gods anymore since we have science and technology to improve our lives without having to rely on the whims of some powerful being. As such he refused to acknowledge being X as anything other than an unusually powerful entity. Honestly the show feels a lot like a Star Trek: TOS arc in this respect. Goodness, righteousness, etc have never factored into being X's demands to be worshipped

You're assuming a lot of motives that have not been demonstrated by Being X, and which are directly contradicted by it's behavior.

The mages in this show are more equivalent to somewhere between a WW1 and WW2 close air-support aircraft. Scouting and supporting ground assaults are their primary functions but they can dog fight in a pinch. Nitrousoxide fucked around with this message at 22:38 on Jan 27, 2017 |
